  • Capitalization Policy: Serve as the primary liaison between the business and Anduril’s capitalization policy — advising program, engineering, and operations teams on capitalize-versus-expense treatment, reviewing capital spend requests for policy compliance, and keeping the policy current as the business scales.
  • Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and develop a team of accountants, setting priorities, reviewing work, and building bench strength as the asset base scales.
  • Government Grants: Monitor and track government grants funding Anduril’s capital projects to ensure compliance, accurate reporting, and timely disbursement.
  • Software Capitalization: Oversee and execute capitalization of software assets in alignment with applicable accounting standards (ASC 350).

  • Reporting & Disclosures: Own the fixed asset, lease, and intangible asset footnotes, disclosures, and supporting schedules for financial reporting.
  • Reconciliations: Review balance sheet reconciliations for long-lived asset accounts on a timely basis, and research and resolve variances as needed.
  • Systems & Process Improvement: Help implement new systems or improve efficiencies with current systems to support continued company and team growth.
  • SOX Readiness: Help build and maintain SOX-ready process documentation and key controls over fixed assets, leases, and intangibles in support of public company readiness.
  • Audit Support: Serve as the primary owner of external audit requests covering long-lived assets, including PBC schedules, walkthroughs, and technical accounting memos.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with FP&A, Procurement, Facilities and Real Estate, and Tax on capital planning, lease commitments, asset tracking, and book-to-tax depreciation differences.
  • Mindset: No job too small mentality, be curious and helpful to others.
